University Co-op Program

AFL’s University Co-op Program allows engineering students to rotate between a semester of class and a semester of “on the job” learning. This three-semester commitment is a great opportunity for students to develop important business skills and exercise their education. Participants in AFL’s co-op program are assigned a series of projects help reduce operational costs, improve operational processes, discover innovative solutions to real issues and increase value for our customers. Co-ops will carry the responsibility for the projects and be guided by their mentors towards completion with each project having a meaningful impact on the company.

Internship Program

The AFL Internship program is for students looking for some real world experience while still going to class. This 12-15 week program is offered in spring, summer, and fall in either full or part-time capacities based on a student’s class schedule. The program prepares students for real company settings with leading business strategies, a diversity of projects and mentoring by industry professionals. Whether you are studying marketing or international trade, AFL’s internship program is a perfect way to get your resume to the top of the stack.
